After the Senate passed immigration reform with flying colors last week, those in opposition have come up with a new argument—apparently, it's not exactly true that Latinos were for immigration reform, Miss Sarah Palin says.

Palin seems to think the bill insults Latinos, according to a post on her Facebook page. Her words exactly: "You've just abandoned the Reagan Democrats with this amnesty bill. You disrespect Hispanics with your assumption that they desire ignoring the rule of Law." Reminds me of Ann Coulter's ridiculous advice, you know the one where she said "We can win Hispanics" but not if we keep bringing in these "foreign ones." Um, yeah, OK.

A vast majority of polls have shown that 85 percent of Latino voters (which means they are citizens, of course, and no longer "foreign") support a path to citizenship for the undocumented. Whatever the case is, the part that boggles my mind is that politicians are now trying to use Latinos for their argument. I get that not all Latinos favored the bill, but to use the small percentage who didn't as an excuse to bash it means you've got no other argument. Nuff said.
